Guest, we'd love to know what you think about the forum! Take the Diabetes Forum Survey 2025 »

Message: <blockquote data-quote="Deleted member 527103" data-source="post: 2410578">Our bodies are amazing mechanisms that can be "trained" to accept different things.When we make sudden adjustments to what it is used to our bodies are confused.For example, type 2 may come on slowly so gradually our blood sugars rise and our bodies get used to the higher levels and think they are normal. When we start to lower the levels, our body experiences something it is not used t (lower levels) and reacts. This is often referred to as false hypos" - we experience hypo symptoms even though our levels are higher than 4mmol/l.The other thing that may be happening if you have adjusted your diet is that you are experiencing withdrawal symptoms from food which your body has become used to - like an addict experiencing cold turkey.These feelings should clear up but don't forget that diabetes does not stop us getting ill in other non-diabetes related ways. So, keep an eye on your symptoms and get medical assistance if they do not go away. They may have nothing to do with your change in diet and blood sugar levels.Finally, your levels look good. As someone with Type 1, I would be very please with levels like that.</blockquote>
